Why join the Devcon 8 Academic Program?

Bring your campus on the Road to Devcon

Every meetup is part of a global series building toward Devcon 8. Hosting one makes your university part of that story, and gets your community there first.

Find your people ahead of Devcon India

Connect with researchers, developers, and protocol contributors who share your enthusiasts, and your obsessions.

Turn your campus into a classroom for Ethereum

The expertise is already around you: professors, researchers, and builders in your own university who are working on the hardest problems in the space.
